In the Shadow of the Rising Sun: Shanghai under Japanese Occupation (Cambridge Modern China Series) Book

This book examines how ordinary men and women, Chinese as well as foreign, endured the Japanese military assault and occupation of the city of Shanghai during the Chinese War of Resistance (1937-1945). It rejects the conventional demand to present their stories in terms of heroic resistance versus shameful collaboration with the enemy. The volume presents, instead, a variegated picture showing how the city's dwellers mobilized a variety of social networks to circumvent enemy strictures, employing strategies that kept alive a culture and an economy that were vital to the survival of the much brutalized population.Read More
